The Seattle Supersonics select Hasheem Thabeet, center, University of Connecticut.
Good pick. High potential C.
We will not ask him to score much, if at all. He can learn from Tim Duncan, and we will need him to block shots, grab rebounds, and utilize his freakish athleticism and size to control the paint with the assistance of his Hall of Fame power forward. His work ethic is excellent, according to all reports out of UConn.
And jgod to answer your question, any blocked shot that does not result in Duncan doing the thriller dance or Thabeet wagging his finger will result in extra windsprints for everyone, Payton and Kemp included.
